Developer Event Horizon shared the latest major update for tactical RPG Dark Envoy. Patch 1.3 introduces new challenges, rewards, revamped random dungeons and much more.
Other QoL changes include minor updates to the UI. Among other things, players will be able to choose the order of team members and compare items at the shop with other characters in the team. There are also slights changes to the character’s inventory UI, where you can now see the current weight of the items.
“Get ready for an epic update packed with thrilling content! Prepare to tackle new challenges in the Challenge Arena, explore revamped random dungeons, and experience a multitude of improvements across the board. One of the main changes in this update is the shortening and standardization of player ability cast times, ensuring smoother gameplay.”
Dark Envoy – Patch 1.3 Highlights:
- Player ability cast times have been shortened and standardized for greater responsiveness. Most skills will now cast faster and it should no longer be possible to accidentally cancel a skill before it is cast, resulting in a waste of mana and cooldowns.
- Added 6 new challenges to the Challenge Arena
- Introduced new rewards for the challenges, both new and previous ones, including unique items that can only be found there. All rewards have been reset on your current playthroughs so even if you already finished a challenge, you can replay it now to gain the new rewards.
- Added a new side objective that can now generate on random dungeons – the Ancient Generator that rewards the player only if they successfully protect it against incoming enemies.
- Added 4 new miniboss units for the Scorpion, Wild Elementals, Manaless and Crazed Robots families that can now spawn on randomly generated dungeons.
- Added 4 new biomes for randomly generated dungeons: Mountain Pass, Dark Mountain Pass, Caves and Shattered Lands.
- Overall cutscene and animation polish including a complete overhaul of top down dialogue cameras to minimize issues with view-blocking environment pieces as well as general camera work and atmosphere improvement.
- Updated run animations on all humanoid characters.
